Battle of the billionaires

Bill Gates has called Elon Musk the richest man killing the poorest children. Musk has called Gates a big liar. It's about Musk withdrawing American aid for starving children, and Gates has pledged 200 billion to offset that decision.

Actually a bit more complex.

Musk cut USAID for foreign countries. Gates has a ton of charities that depend on that money to deliver the aid.

Gates now has to use the Charity's money to deliver anything.

This will affect everywhere around the world. Yet specifically war areas like Ukraine and Palestine.

Now think about Trump's policies on both Ukraine and Palestine. Trump (and Musk) wants leverage. The type of leverage that Gates finds inhumane.

Gates dumps more money and Trump loses leverage.

@DeWayfarer I take no position on this, but I think the Gates Foundation could do more good of the long lasting sort if I was to receive five or ten billion.

@AnnaBunny he still has to ship. No matter what. That was why the 200 billion.
